The East African Rift System is a 4,000-mile-long, 22-million-year-old zone that extends from Jordan to Mozambique. And it's been increasingly active in the past two decades, leading to speculation ...

This study, published in Earth and Planetary Physics, explores the subduction thermal state, slab metamorphism, and seismic ...

revealing how deep tectonic movements can influence mountains, basins, and seismic activity at the surface. The collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates has been ongoing for tens of ...

A similar process created the nearby Saudi Arabian peninsula, according to scientists. Scientists using GPS and satellite mapping to track how the tectonic plates underlying Africa are separating ...

Our planet is constantly changing. Millions of years ago, the impact of a large meteorite ended the lives of the dinosaurs, and ice ages, periods of rain, drought and evolution hav ...

Scientists have detected that the Neotethys oceanic plate is tearing apart horizontally, altering the region’s tectonic landscape in ways never seen before. For millions of years, the Arabian ...
